Make His Deeds Known Among the Nations

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“And as you do it, you'll say, "Give thanks to God. Call out his name. Ask him anything! Shout to the nations, tell them what he's done, spread the news of his great reputation! Sing praise-songs to God. He's done it all! Let the whole earth know what he's done! Raise the roof! Sing your hearts out, O Zion! The Greatest lives among you: The Holy of Israel." (Isaiah 12:4-6, THE MESSAGE)

Madrid, Spain

Coming to a close today is one of the best adventures I have had in these 63 years of living, with this soon completion of my 18^th trip to Israel. They are cherished days to be home with my good wife and family, but it is also a wonderful time to be among those whom the Lord has brought back from the many nations from which they have been scattered.

We are living in the amazing times of biblical prophecy being fulfilled right before our eye. I must shout out (or write, as I best do), what He has done, the Holy One of Israel.

With all that is happening, nothing must stop you and me from walking in His ways, protection, and abundance, as we commit ourselves to His daily purposes and plans. And on this particular journey, even the two canceled flights (there and back) and all that entailed; nor the WiFi that daily kept knocking me off from uploading my wonderful 1,700 photos and 71 fun hearted (and a few serious) short videos taken in Israel, could hold me back. Not even the pesky, cursed mosquitoes that bit up my feet often in the middle of the night, as I got 4-5 hours of sleep each day to refuel for the next one.

Nothing should stop us from pursuing the living God, the One from Whom all the nations must seek and find their fulfillment in.

As we see Him bringing back the Jews from all the nations - Russia, France, England, China, Ethiopia, India, the USA, and so many more, to the Promised Land of Israel, we must give thanks, declare and make known that the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach) and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) are together performing their mighty acts. It is truly a wonder to behold.

Spending time with my Jewish friends of Israel is always the best time. Nissim and Hadassah Lerner from Giv’at Ze’ev (originally from Virginia); Abraham Saidan and his family who made aliyah (immigrated) from Iran; Louie the Old City Arab gift shop owner who always gives me the real “best price”; my new friend Shlomo (Solomon) in the Jewish Quarter; and Rabbi Kokeb Gedamu and his wife Menalu (Congregation Amud HaEsh), who are Ethiopian Messianic Jews bringing hope and teaching to those who also came from the south to Israel.

Sharing this bond of our Father’s love is uniting the Jews and Christians together there in the land, along with those of us who have heard and received the call to stand with them.

Our Mighty God is doing it. He is manifesting Himself, showing His glory, and revealing His heart for the nations.

Being a part of it all is a thrill for a lifetime.

Shalom and Ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Faithful - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Faithful

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

(Hebrews 3:2-3, NASU)

Faithful. Now that is a word we don’t hear enough of these days when describing another, or when someone describes ourselves.

How often have you heard it being said of one, “He was faithful to his wife.” Or, “She kept her promises. If she said it, you can be sure she would do it. She was faithful to the end.”

So often we hear of the politician who said one thing before the election day, but once in office they seemed to have forgotten what they had spoken, and instead bend to the peer pressure surrounding them. Or the sad stories reported of school teachers taking advantage of their students, having sex with them, unfaithful both to their student and their commitment to teach truth.

It has been far too often that leadership has failed us. Out of their mouth has come one thing, but behind the scene it is discovered that unfaithfulness to their God and the people they were called to serve was the opposite of what picture was painted for the world to see. Disappointment may then come upon their followers, which then cause them to give up believing in anyone trustworthy. A cynical spirit is thus given a place to lodge in people’s hearts.

We have been called to be a witness of the Lord Jesus. He Who was faithful to the end, during His time on earth, and for all eternity, has too chosen and appointed us to be as He is – faithful and true.

“Thus says the Lord,

The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One,

To Him whom man despises,

To Him whom the nation abhors,

To the Servant of rulers:

"Kings shall see and arise,

Princes also shall worship,

Because of the Lord who is faithful,

The Holy One of Israel;

And He has chosen You." Isaiah 49:7 NKJV

Our lives, demonstrated before the world, are to be ones proving the faithfulness of the One we serve. If we say we are going to do something, we must do it. If we commit to be there when we say we will, then we must be there. On time and ready for action.

The desire of the Lord’s child must be to someday hear Him speak to them the word He spoke in parable, “His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'” (Matthew 25:21-22 NKJV)

May it be said of us in our days that we are faithful, that we do what we will say we will do; that we keep our promises, no matter what the cost is to ourselves. May others say of us today, “They are faithful.”  And may our God say of us when we stand before Him on that day, “You are a good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

Now think on this,

Hebrew Meaning of "Iron Dome" ✡ "Holy One of Israel is Among You"

Exult and shout for joy, inhabitants of Zion, for the great Holy One of Israel is among you. ISAIAH (12:6)   צַהֲלִי וָרֹנִּי יוֹשֶׁבֶת צִיּוֹן כִּי גָדוֹל בְּקִרְבֵּךְ קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל ישעיהו י’’ב:ו tza-ha-lee va-ro-nee yo-she-vet tzee-on kee ga-dol b'-kir-baykh k'-dosh yis-ra-ayl

Today's Israel Inspiration The ‘Kippa’ (Hebrew) or ‘Yarmulka’ (Yiddish) is the round head covering worn by Jewish men to serve as a constant reminder to us and everyone else, that God is always above, and that, like today’s verse teaches us, ‘the Holy One of Israel is great in our midst.’ How fitting that Israel's Iron Dome is called "Kippah Barzel (iron dome)" - a kippah covering the entire Holy Land!
